Assuming by now you have heard a little about Seguin's obsession and deep-rooted history with pecans. To say the least, we REALLY like pecans around here. So much so that you will find references all around town from sculptures and art to delicious treats. Being home to 3 different competitors for the World's Largest Pecan (including the current titleholder), it is only natural that we have pecan goods all across town.
So we did the work for you and gathered all the wonderful spots around Seguin where you can purchase pecan and pecan-themed items.
Pape Pecan Co - 5440 S Hwy 123 Bypass
The first stop on your Seguin pecan adventure should most definitely be Pape Pecan. Here you will find Seguin's World's Largest Mobile Pecan, as well as TONS of pecan goodies to purchase. While you're there, you might as well take a look at the world's largest collection of nutcrackers too.
With Pape's out of the way, we'll move on to everyone's favorite thing to talk about (and photograph)... FOOD!
